However, it is plausible that we are cave dwellers who came across a crash landed flying saucer somewhere in southern Nevada. We found some technology we don't understand. In the absence of imagination we made hand axes out of the computer technology, that is laying around in the desert sand. What could we do with computers that by far superseded computers we once used to fly to the moon? We could break the touch screens of those computers and use a broken piece to skin a mammoth. Unfortunately the mammoth died out. What else could we do? We could use it to roll stones, to lock and unlock the entrances of our caves. "Open Sesame!", "Open Siri!" It's beyond beliefe that a life form has the skills to invent such technology and then mostly to use this technology to take selfies, photos of meals and to get suggestions to drink enough water, to count the steps we walked, because we don't walk enough, if we use it as a remote control to turn the light on and off, so we need a fitness app, a climbing machine, virtual reality glasses for the "virtually turn light on and off workout program".
